Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of rehabilitation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a rehabilitation auxiliary support device for stabilizing and fixing the head and neck. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of medical rehabilitation, stable fixation of the head and neck is crucial for patients recovering from cervical spine diseases, neck injuries, or surgery. Stable and effective fixation not only helps reduce pain and promote the repair of damaged tissues but also prevents further injury. However, existing head and neck fixation rehabilitation support devices are relatively fixed in size. Different patients have significant differences in head and neck shape and size, ranging from children to adults, and from petite to robust individuals. The circumference, length, and curvature of the head and neck vary, but existing devices often only offer a limited number of size options, making it difficult to accurately fit each patient's unique body structure. This results in discomfort and impaired blood circulation when worn too tightly, while a loose fit fails to provide stable support and fixation. Furthermore, as the patient's physical condition improves during rehabilitation, the required support strength gradually changes. For example, strong support may be needed in the early stages of injury to restrict neck movement and promote healing, while in the later stages of rehabilitation, only moderate support may be needed to assist in neck functional exercises. However, most existing rehabilitation support devices, once the support strength is set, are difficult to change flexibly and cannot meet the dynamic needs of patients at different stages of rehabilitation. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a rehabilitation auxiliary support device for stabilizing and fixing the head and neck, which has the advantage of adjusting the support force of the device according to the patient's needs.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a rehabilitation auxiliary support device for stabilizing and fixing the head and neck, comprising:

[0028] Front support 1, with a rotating block 2 movably connected inside the front support 1;

[0029] An adjustment mechanism is located at the top of the rotating block 2;

[0030] The adjusting mechanism includes a screw 3, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the top end of the rotating block 2. A moving rod 4 is threaded onto the outer surface of the screw 3. A connecting block 5 is fixedly installed at the top end of the moving rod 4. A moving block 6 is fixedly sleeved inside the connecting block 5. The outer surface of the moving block 6 is movably sleeved with the inside of the rotating block 2.

[0031] When the screw 3 rotates, it will drive the rotating block 2 to rotate. Since the rotating block 2 is internally connected to the front support 1, the screw 3 can only rotate around the connection point between the rotating block 2 and the front support 1. Since the outer surface of the screw 3 is connected to the internal thread of the moving rod 4, when the screw 3 rotates, it will drive the moving rod 4 to move up and down. At this time, the moving rod 4 will drive the moving block 6 to move through the connecting block 5. At this time, the moving block 6 will pull or push the front support 1 during the movement, causing the support angle of the front support 1 to change, thereby changing the support force of the front support 1 on the patient's neck.

[0032] Among them, a knob 7 is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the outer surface of the screw 3, and a rubber sleeve 8 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the knob 7.

[0033] When the knob 7 is rotated, it will drive the screw 3 to rotate. Due to the design of the rubber sleeve 8, the friction of the outer surface of the knob 7 will be enhanced, making it easier for the operator to turn the knob 7.

[0034] The outer surface of the front support 1 is movably connected to a fastening strap 10, and the outer surface of the fastening strap 10 is movably connected to a rear support 11.

[0035] The design of the rear support 11 will provide good support for the back of the patient's neck.

[0036] The fastening band 10 has a buckle groove 12 on its outer surface at the front end, and a buckle 13 is movably connected inside the buckle groove 12. The outer surface of the buckle 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the front support 1.

[0037] Due to the design of the fastening groove 12 and the buckle 13, the fastening strap 10 serves to connect the front support 1 and the rear support 11.

[0038] The outer surface of the fastening band 10 is provided with a circular groove 14, and a pin 15 is movably sleeved inside the circular groove 14. The outer surface of the pin 15 is in contact with the back of the rear support 11.

[0039] When the operator pulls the fastening strap 10, the front support 1 and the rear support 11 will retract inward, allowing them to conform to the patient's neck and provide support for the necks of patients of different body types. When the pin 15 is inserted into the circular groove 14, the repositioning movement of the circular groove 14 will be blocked by the pin 15, thus ensuring that the front support 1 and the rear support 11 remain in close contact with the patient's neck.

[0040] The threaded rod 16 is threaded inside the pin 15, and the outer surface of the threaded rod 16 contacts the outer surface of the circular groove 14. At this time, the top end of the threaded rod 16 is fixedly installed with a screwing block 17.

[0041] Since the outer surface of the threaded rod 16 is threaded with the inner thread of the pin 15, the threaded rod 16 will move up and down when it rotates along the inside of the pin 15. When the pin 15 is inserted into the circular groove 14, if the threaded rod 16 is inside the pin 15, the threaded rod 16 will lock the movement of the pin 15, so that the pin 15 is fixed inside the circular groove 14. Due to the design of the turning block 17, the operator can rotate the threaded rod 16 by turning the turning block 17.

[0042] In practice, medical staff first place the front support 1 and the rear support 11 on the front and back of the patient's neck, respectively. Then, they fasten the two buckles 13 into the two fastening slots 12, connecting the front support 1 and the rear support 11 via the fastening straps 10. Next, the medical staff simultaneously pull the two fastening straps 10 backward, causing the front support 1 and the rear support 11 to tighten inward. This allows the first support plate 18 and the second support plate 19 to fit snugly against the patient's neck, providing effective support for the patient's head and neck. This allows the device to fit the neck of patients of different body types. When the first support plate 18 and the second support plate 19 are in contact with the patient's neck, the medical staff inserts the pin 15 into the round groove 14 closest to the back of the rear support 11. Due to the design of the pin 15, when the pin 15 contacts the back of the rear support 11, the pin 15 will block the resetting operation of the fastening band 10 through the round groove 14, thereby allowing the first support plate 18 and the second support plate 19 to remain in contact with the patient's neck. Then, the medical staff screws the threaded rod 16 into the inside of the pin 15, at which point the pin 15 will be locked inside the round groove 14 by the threaded rod 16.

[0043] Subsequently, medical staff simultaneously turned the two knobs 7, which caused the two screws 3 to rotate. Since the outer surfaces of the two screws 3 are respectively connected to the internal threads of the two moving rods 4, when the two screws 3 rotate, they will drive the two moving rods 4 to move upward. At this time, the two moving rods 4 will drive the two moving blocks 6 to move through the two connecting blocks 5. The two moving blocks 6 will push the front support 1 in the upward movement, thereby causing the front support 1 and the first support plate 18 to deform. During this process, the first support plate 18 will fit against the patient's throat and jaw, thus realizing the function of adjusting the support force of the device according to the patient's needs.

[0044] The operator then inflates the airbags on the first support plate 18 and the second support plate 19. As the airbags gradually collide, they enhance the support effect of the device on the patient's jaw at the back of the neck, allowing the patient to fine-tune the support strength according to their needs.

[0045] In the specific technical solution, a first support plate 18 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the front support 1, a mesh is provided on the first support plate 18, and memory foam is wrapped between the first support plate 18 and the mesh.

[0046] When the support angle of the front support 1 changes, the first support plate 18 will also change accordingly. When the front support 1 tightens inward, the first support plate 18 will tighten inward under the action of the front support 1. When the first support plate 18 contacts the patient's neck and jaw, it will provide support and fixation. Because the first support plate 18 is equipped with mesh and memory foam, it is more breathable and comfortable for the patient when in contact with the first support plate 18, and the memory foam can provide good flexible support for the patient's neck.

[0047] In the specific technical solution, a second support plate 19 is fixedly installed on the front of the rear support 11, and the front of the second support plate 19 is provided with a silicone liner.

[0048] When the back support 11 retracts inward, it will cause the second support plate 19 to retract inward. When the second support plate 19 comes into contact with the patient's neck, it will provide support and fixation for the patient's neck. Since the second support plate 19 is equipped with a silicone liner, it makes the patient more comfortable when in contact with the second support plate 19.

[0049] Among them, two sets of symmetrically distributed support airbags are provided on the inner side of the first support plate 18 and located at the lower jaw of the human body, and two sets of symmetrically distributed airbags are provided on the inner side of the second support plate 19 and located at the back of the neck of the human body.

[0050] Since both the first support plate 18 and the second support plate 19 are equipped with support airbags, the support effect of the device can be improved, allowing patients to flexibly adjust the support strength and enhance the applicability of the device.
